107th Regiment Royal Armoured Corps
The 107th Regiment Royal Armoured Corps (King's Own) (107 RAC) was a tank regiment of the Royal Armoured Corps, raised by the British Army during the Second World War. The regiment served with distinction in North-west Europe from July 1944 to May 1945.
==Origin==
107th Regiment RAC was formed on 1 November 1941 by the conversion to the armoured role of the 5th Battalion, King's Own Royal Regiment (Lancaster), a 1st Line Territorial Army infantry battalion. In common with other infantry units transferred to the Royal Armoured Corps, all personnel would have continued to wear their King's Own cap badge on the black beret of the RAC.〔Forty pp. 50–1.〕 In this instance, however, the brass cap badges of the King's Own Royal Regiment (Lancaster) were plated white metal, chrome or silver by the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers.〔(King's Own Royal Regiment Museum )〕
The 5th Battalion, King's Own Royal Regiment had been serving in 126th Infantry Brigade of 42nd (East Lancashire) Infantry Division which had fought in France and been evacuated at Dunkirk in May 1940. Later, they were redesignated 11th Armoured Brigade (later 11th Tank Brigade) and 42nd Armoured Division respectively.〔Joslen, pp. 29, 68, 165, 199.〕 Serving alongside the regiment in the brigade was 110 RAC (previously 5th Borders) and 111 RAC (5th Manchesters). Based in Yorkshire (mainly at Keighley and later Leyburn) the regiment trained on Valentine tanks throughout 1942 and early 1943.〔107 RAC War Diaries February–December 1942, The National Archives, Kew file WO 166/6929.〕
